Good DNA

By Lindsay Schnell - April 06, 2007

Still no score ... each team got a guy on base, but neither could score.

Boxberger, the true frosh on the mound for the Trojans, has some good pitching blood in him:his dad, Rod, went 12-1 with a 2.00 ERA in the CWS in 1978 when USC won the title. He was also named the CWS MVP.

So this kid's got a lot to live up to.

Three up, three down for the Beavs in the top of three.

I'm not sure how much you've heard about the new scoreboard out here at Goss Stadium, but it's pretty fancy for a so-called "cowtown." They haven't done any instant replay (though its said to have "instant replay capabilities") so instead they show two things repeatedly. OSU's run to the national championship and the football team's 33-31 upset win over USC this last fall.

WIld pitch by Boxberger and Wallace is on base for OSU. Barney's up for the Beavs (who, for the record, is probably the nicest Oregon State athlete you could hope to interview).
